Well ,,, yes, trimming is really what is needed (and interleaving !) 
Quoting the entire message is annoying and wasteful of storage space and 
of one's attention !

Said that, bottom (or better interleaved if the message is long and has 
many subtopics unlike this one) posting is more legible, compare this one 
where I reply below the text and the example below the dashed line which 
is reversed.
